Exodus 39

¹From the blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made finely woven garments , for ministering in the Holy Place . They made the holy garments for Aaron , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

²He made the ephod of gold , blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen .

³And they hammered out gold leaf , and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen , in skilled design .

⁴They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces , joined to it at its two edges .

⁵And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold , blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

⁶They made the onyx stones , enclosed in settings of gold filigree , and engraved like the engravings of a signet , according to the names of the sons of Israel .

⁷And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

⁸He made the breastpiece , in skilled work , in the style of the ephod , of gold , blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen .

⁹It was square . They made the breastpiece doubled , a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled .

¹⁰And they set in it four rows of stones . A row of sardius , topaz , and carbuncle was the first row ;

¹¹and the second row , an emerald , a sapphire , and a diamond ;

¹²and the third row , a jacinth , an agate , and an amethyst ;

¹³and the fourth row , a beryl , an onyx , and a jasper . They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree .

¹⁴There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel . They were like signets , each engraved with its name , for the twelve tribes .

¹⁵And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords , of pure gold .

¹⁶And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings , and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece .

¹⁷And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece .

¹⁸They attached the two ends of the two cords to the two settings of filigree . Thus they attached it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod .

¹⁹Then they made two rings of gold , and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece , on its inside edge next to the ephod .

²⁰And they made two rings of gold , and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod , at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod .

²¹And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue , so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod , and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

²²He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue ,

²³and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment , with a binding around the opening , so that it might not tear .

²⁴On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen .

²⁵They also made bells of pure gold , and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe , between the pomegranates —

²⁶a bell and a pomegranate , a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

²⁷They also made the coats , woven of fine linen , for Aaron and his sons ,

²⁸and the turban of fine linen , and the caps of fine linen , and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen ,

²⁹and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

³⁰They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold , and wrote on it an inscription , like the engraving of a signet , Holy to the Lord.

³¹And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above , as the Lord had commanded Moses .

³²Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished , and the people of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses ; so they did .

³³Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses , the tent and all its utensils , its hooks , its frames , its bars , its pillars , and its bases ;

³⁴the covering of tanned rams ’ skins and goatskins , and the veil of the screen ;

³⁵the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat ;

³⁶the table with all its utensils , and the bread of the Presence ;

³⁷the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils , and the oil for the light ;

³⁸the golden altar , the anointing oil and the fragrant incense , and the screen for the entrance of the tent ;

³⁹the bronze altar , and its grating of bronze , its poles , and all its utensils ; the basin and its stand ;

⁴⁰the hangings of the court , its pillars , and its bases , and the screen for the gate of the court , its cords , and its pegs ; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle , for the tent of meeting ;

⁴¹the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place , the holy garments for Aaron the priest , and the garments of his sons for their service as priests .

⁴²According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses , so the people of Israel had done all the work .

⁴³And Moses saw all the work , and behold , they had done it; as the Lord had commanded , so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.
